Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a composition suitable for use in the building construction industry.
  • Metar composition includes binding mortar, adhesive mortar, plastering mortar, grouting mortar and crack filler.
  • mortars were mainly based on mineral binders like lime, cement and gypsum.
  • the mortars have mainly been used as adhesives for clay bricks, fly ash bricks, aerated concrete blocks, and cement blocks, as a plaster/render, as crack filler and for coating walls.
  • the Lime mortar composed of lime, an aggregate such as sand, and water is one of the oldest known types of mortars, used even in the Indus valley civilization. With the introduction of Portland cement, the use of lime mortar in newer constructions gradually declined. However the soft, porous properties of lime mortar provide certain advantages when working with building materials such as natural stone and terracotta.
  • cement is the vital binding agent in concretes, mortars and renders, and is used for the production of walling blocks and roofing tiles. Since its invention in the first half of the 19th century, Portland cement, a type of cement, has become the most widely available cementitious material due to its ease of use, quick setting properties and compressive strength. In conventional mortars, typically Portland cement, sand/silica and water and optionally other additives act as the main ingredients along with some additives like waterproofing agents, fibers, re-dispersible polymers and extenders are mixed using on-site mixing technology and applied on to the blocks/bricks. After application of the mortar curing, essentially with water for at least seven days to complete the hydration process within the mortar and to attain the optimum strength of the mortar bond, is required.
  • the most common practice of mortaring in masonry work involves on site mixing of cement, sand and water in a predefined ratio and the wet mortar is applied to building blocks.
  • the quality of such a mortar depends on the raw materials used, their correct mixing ratio, the homogeneity of the mixture, the quality and the quantity of water used and the consistency of the final mortar.
  • the consistency of such on site mixed mortars may vary due to errors that can occur during mixing of the raw materials, affecting the homogeneity of the final product which results in an inconsistent mortar mixture.
  • the current practices of construction involve separate inventory management and material handling on site. This involves a lot of time, manpower as well as energy.

  • fillers and additives like defoaming agents and drying agents are added in the abovementioned composition in such proportions so as to essentially obtain a fire retardant coating composition.
  • PCT application WO09007994 discloses a composition for the production of fly ash pre-polymerized resin emulsion composite useful as a mortar, as a crack filler and as a plaster/render.
  • the composition disclosed in the abovementioned patent application comprises ultra fine pulverized fly ash and bottom ash, low-viscosity vinyl acetate as a polymer binder, water, fillers and one or more additives.
  • the composition disclosed in the abovementioned application is a ready to use material and hence the consistency and homogeneity of the material is assured.

  • a dry composition for preparing a flowable mixture for acoustic sound insulation.
  • a dry composition includes at least 50% by volume of rubber crumb, aggregate material including at least 10% by total dry composition volume pulverized fuel ash, and a hydraulic binding agent including both cement based compound of between 5 and 20% by total dry composition and preferably between 10 and 15% and a hydraulic polymeric binder which is a copolymer of Ethylene-vinyl acetate.
  • US Patent 5244304 discloses a paving composition which is used in patching a depression in asphalt pavement.
  • the composition comprises cement binder, water dispersible latex polymer binder based on ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, filler composition, water and additives.

Description

A COMPOSITION SUITABLE FOR USE IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a composition suitable for use in the building construction industry.
DEFINITION
In the context of the present invention the term "Mortar composition" includes binding mortar, adhesive mortar, plastering mortar, grouting mortar and crack filler.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
For thousands of years the architecture and construction of buildings were closely associated with the use of mortars. These mortars were mainly based on mineral binders like lime, cement and gypsum. The mortars have mainly been used as adhesives for clay bricks, fly ash bricks, aerated concrete blocks, and cement blocks, as a plaster/render, as crack filler and for coating walls.
The Lime mortar composed of lime, an aggregate such as sand, and water is one of the oldest known types of mortars, used even in the Indus valley civilization. With the introduction of Portland cement, the use of lime mortar in newer constructions gradually declined. However the soft, porous properties of lime mortar provide certain advantages when working with building materials such as natural stone and terracotta.
Cement is the vital binding agent in concretes, mortars and renders, and is used for the production of walling blocks and roofing tiles. Since its invention in the first half of the 19th century, Portland cement, a type of cement, has become the most widely available cementitious material due to its ease of use, quick setting properties and compressive strength. In conventional mortars, typically Portland cement, sand/silica and water and optionally other additives act as the main ingredients along with some additives like waterproofing agents, fibers, re-dispersible polymers and extenders are mixed using on-site mixing technology and applied on to the blocks/bricks. After application of the mortar curing, essentially with water for at least seven days to complete the hydration process within the mortar and to attain the optimum strength of the mortar bond, is required. Inadequate curing adversely affects the hydration process and leads to cracking and shrinkage upon drying. Also, curing with hard water affects the bonding properties due to presence of contaminants. Furthermore, Portland cement based mortar suffers from some disadvantages such as delayed hardening, low tensile strength, large drying shrinkage and low chemical resistance. Also, manufacturing of Portland cement causes environmental impacts at all stages of the process due to substantial emission of carbon dioxide which results in global warming.
Generally, the most common practice of mortaring in masonry work involves on site mixing of cement, sand and water in a predefined ratio and the wet mortar is applied to building blocks. The quality of such a mortar depends on the raw materials used, their correct mixing ratio, the homogeneity of the mixture, the quality and the quantity of water used and the consistency of the final mortar. However, the consistency of such on site mixed mortars may vary due to errors that can occur during mixing of the raw materials, affecting the homogeneity of the final product which results in an inconsistent mortar mixture. The current practices of construction involve separate inventory management and material handling on site. This involves a lot of time, manpower as well as energy.
EXISTING KNOWLEDGE
Following patent applications/granted patents disclose various binding compositions employed as building materials.
US Patent 4229329 discloses a fire retardant coating composition which is used as a paint or as a mastic comprising fly ash and polymer emulsion binder. The composition disclosed in the abovementioned cited patent document comprises ultra-fine pulverized ash in an amount of 7- 31% weight of the composition; a binder comprising a low viscosity vinyl acrylic type emulsion polymer in an amount of 1-40% by weight of the composition; fillers comprising gypsum or fiberglass in an amount of 20%-30% by wt. of the total composition; water constituting from 8-48% by weight of the composition; and additives like drying agent, defoamer, plasticizer and the like. However, the composition disclosed in the cited patent document is specifically employed as a fire retardant coating composition for vertical surfaces and not as a mortar or cementitious material in the construction industry. Also, fillers and additives like defoaming agents and drying agents are added in the abovementioned composition in such proportions so as to essentially obtain a fire retardant coating composition.
Our PCT application WO09007994, hereafter please refer to as PCT application, discloses a composition for the production of fly ash pre-polymerized resin emulsion composite useful as a mortar, as a crack filler and as a plaster/render. The composition disclosed in the abovementioned patent application comprises ultra fine pulverized fly ash and bottom ash, low-viscosity vinyl acetate as a polymer binder, water, fillers and one or more additives. The composition disclosed in the abovementioned application is a ready to use material and hence the consistency and homogeneity of the material is assured. However, the required bond strength of the mortar has not been achieved when low-viscosity vinyl acetate and fly ash were employed in the composition.

A mortar layer of 4 mm thickness was applied on one surface of a burnt clay brick. Another clay brick was bonded to the burnt clay brick surface having the mortar layer. The two bricks were placed on a table to maintain a cantilever position. The two bricks were left for curing for test reports are for 28 days & 120 days without disturbing the mortar layer. After 120 days, the tensile bonding strength was checked by hanging an initial weight to one end of the clay brick. This initial weight was increased until the bond between the two bricks broke. It was observed, though the bond survived the tensile bonding strength test, the clay brick broke.
2. Shear Bonding
A mortar of 4 mm thickness and dimensions of 25 mm x 25 mm was applied on one end of a wooden ply plate having dimensions of approximately 25 mm x 75 mm. Another wooden ply plate having same dimensions was placed on the mortar layer. The assembly was allowed to cure for two days. After curing, the assembly was suspended in a vertical position from a rack on a spring balance provided with a hook attached to one of the wooden ply plate. An initial weight was hanged at the bottom of one of the wooden ply plate. This initial weight was increased at lower end of wooden ply plate until the joint between the hook and the wooden ply broke.
3. Wall Strength test
The mortar was tested as a building material in comparison with the conventional mortar. The mortar was given to several masons, engineers, architects and building contractors, to build walls by using the mortar as an adhesive material for bonding the clay bricks, concrete blocks, fly ash bricks and the like. On hardening, the walls were hammered for demolition. Strenuous efforts were required to demolish the walls and breakage of blocks/ bricks was observed while the mortar bond remains intact.
4. Water absorption test
Test 1 : A mastic was made in a block having dimensions of 5cm. X 5cm. X 6 mm. The block was allowed to cure completely, followed by which it was immersed in water for 2 hrs. The block was then allowed to dry naturally for 2 hrs. This was repeated in cyclic pattern. The weight of the block before and after immersion was noted and the physical condition was observed. The difference in the weights indicates the absorption and loss of water. The physical condition of the block indicates the effects caused by the process. Test 2 -A mastic was applied in uniform thickness of 6 mm on a glass tile. Upon hard drying the mastic was dipped in water for 24 hrs. and the change in weight was noted which indicates the water absorbed by the mastic.
5. Temperature cycle Test:
A mastic was made in a block having dimensions of 5cm X 5cm X 6mm and allowed to cure completely. The block was subjected to temperatures up to 60 ° C in a lab oven and then cooled to temperatures as low as - 6° C. The same procedure was repeated in a cyclic pattern to check the impact of temperature difference on the block. The physical condition of the block remained unchanged even after the drastic temperature variations.
6. Shrinkage test:
A mastic was applied in uniform thickness of 6 mm on a glass tile. The thickness of mastic along with glass thickness was noted. The same was measured upon hard drying to check the difference in the film thickness. Upon drying, negligible shrinkage was observed in the mastic.
7. Adhesion Test:
A mastic was applied in uniform thickness of 6 mm on a glass tile. Upon drying, the mastic was checked for a tape test to determine its adhesion to the substrate. In the tape test, a cello tape was pressed on the mastic and then removed. It was observed that no mastic adhered to the cello tape proving that the adhesion of the mastic is excellent.

Thus, the entire water in the product is evaporated and returns to environment which saves almost 100% water. Additionally, the composition adds value to the construction by providing a composition which is crack resistant and therefore limits seepage of water or moisture. Thus, the composition limits the growth of fungus which otherwise causes damage to the construction. The composition of the present invention provides better weather resistance thus enhances the life of the construction. On scraping, the walls constructed using said composition; the material can be easily recycled or disposed of safely in a land fill.
ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE:
Conventional composition employed in the building construction is mainly based on Portland cement, sand and water in which all the ingredients are mixed on-site. On the other hand, the composition prepared in accordance with the present invention is in ready to use form and no pre-wetting and post curing with water is required hence no extra supervision is required which not only saves the time and labour but also water.
In conventional cementitious mortars, raw material handling, mixing and curing involves more transportation cost, labour and time and thus increases the overall capital investment. Furthermore, conventional cementitious mortar needs a separate inventory for sand, cement and water; however, the composition prepared in accordance with present invention is a one time inventory thus further saving ample amount of time, transportation and capital. Hence, the overall cost of the masonry work involved in the building construction is reduced by 2- 3%. While considerable emphasis has been placed herein on the specific ingredients of the preferred composition, it will be appreciated that many additional ingredients can be added and that many changes can be made in the preferred composition without departing from the principles of the invention. These and other changes in the preferred composition of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the disclosure herein, whereby it is to be distinctly understood that the foregoing descriptive matter is to be interpreted merely as illustrative of the invention and not as a limitation.
